Xyriel Manabat plays Rose. The actress began her career as a child, finishing as third runner-up in the talent show Star Circle Kid Quest: Search for the Kiddie Idol. Much like American actress McKenna Grace, whose career as a child was typically playing the “young version” of the older actors, Manabat also made a name for herself playing such roles in Filipino movies and TV shows. She is now a leading actress in the Philippines and one of the most popular rising stars. She starred alongside her co-star, Kyle Echarri, in both seasons of Senior High, where she played Roxy. She has played Roxy in two further dramas and recently appeared in a supporting role in the Filipino adaptation of the K-drama It’s Okay to Not Be Okay.
